Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

It is simply that we have invested heavily in Irish language services and the approach we want to take in the strategy this time around is actually to be really clear about what we think is core public service value. I would include in that RnaG, and the Nuacht. We are spending more now on our general Irish language content and producing more hours. In Niamh Ní Churnáin we have an excellent head of Irish language content in RTÉ. As the Deputy will be aware, we are showing more Irish language programmes on RTÉ One in high audience slots early in the evening. It is a core part of what we do. This strategy is about actually doubling down on our public service remit, whether that is news, current affairs and investigations, arts, culture, the orchestra and so on, or Irish language. They are core pillars and they are called out in the strategy as being absolutely critical for the future.
